PSSR examination and written scheme in Immingham

Written Schemes of Examination and certified pressure system examinations by an independent competent person

Around Immingham's port and process cluster, pressure is everywhere: compressed air across the terminals and workshops, steam where processes need heat, and pressure vessels through the industrial hinterland. The Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 govern every one.

PSSR examination and certification for Immingham businesses

The pressure systems near the port range from the workshop air receiver behind a maintenance shed to substantial steam and process plant in the manufacturing and energy operations along the south Humber bank. PSSR draws them all in: steam at any pressure, and other relevant fluids above the threshold, together with the valves, gauges and pipework that protect the system.

On multi system sites the written scheme is where discipline pays. Each system needs a Written Scheme of Examination certified by a competent person before it operates, the scheme must reflect the system as installed rather than as drawn, and every examination reports within 28 days. We scope what PSSR actually covers on your site, keep schemes current as plant changes, and sequence examinations so a shutdown covers as much as possible in one visit.

PSSR FAQs

PSSR examination, written schemes and certification: common questions

Do you carry out PSSR examinations in Immingham?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Immingham and the sites around it, examining workshop receivers through to process plant. Call us to arrange a visit.
How soon can you examine a pressure system in Immingham?
We keep availability across Lincolnshire, so a Immingham visit is often the same or next working day, sooner when a system is waiting on its examination before use. Call 0330 043 8191 to book.
What is a Written Scheme of Examination, and do I need one?
It is the legal document at the heart of PSSR: a scheme drawn up and certified by a competent person that sets out which parts of a pressure system are examined, how, and how often. A system within scope must not be operated without one, and the HSE sets the minimum content in its pressure systems guidance.
Is PSSR a legal requirement, and what does it cover?
Yes. PSSR 2000 applies to systems holding steam at any pressure, or other fluids above roughly 250 bar litres, so steam boilers, air receivers, compressors, autoclaves and many process vessels are caught. The duty sits with the user of an installed system or the owner of a mobile one.
How often must a pressure system be examined?
There is no single interval fixed in law. The competent person sets the frequency for each item in the Written Scheme of Examination, judged on the system, its contents and its duty, with many items examined around every 12 months. The examination report is issued within 28 days and carries the next due date.
Who can be the competent person for PSSR?
Someone with the right combination of training, skill, experience and knowledge for the system in question, and independent enough to judge it fairly. The competent person both draws up or certifies the scheme and carries out the examinations it sets.
Does servicing the equipment count as a PSSR examination?
No. A PSSR examination is a formal statutory examination of the system's integrity against its written scheme, and it is separate from routine maintenance. Maintenance keeps a system running; it does not satisfy the legal duty to examine it.
What happens if the examination finds a defect?
The report records the defect, any limit on continued use and the date the next examination is due. Where the competent person finds a risk of imminent danger, the system must be taken out of use at once and the enforcing authority notified, so a problem is acted on rather than filed.
